Is it appropriate to wear black shoes, black dress pants, and a black long sleeve button shirt to a funeral?
Re asked:
I’m wondering cause I don’t have a business suit to wear and the traditional long sleeve white shirt would look disrespectful, right?
Would it be better to buy a black sweater if possible?

Who cares what you wear, as long as you show up…society sucks. Megan H
it would be fine mrylsmmrs
i have been to 2 funerals and my family wore darker colors but more like blues and reds
its suppose to be a celebration of their life not to be mad cause they are gone
you should be sad because you have lost a loved-one but think of your memories of how they used to be and think what they would want you to look like at the funeral bow
The outfit in your question would be better than a black sweater. Blacks usually clash anyway, but it looks OK if it’s a dress shirt and slacks. A black sweater with black dress pants looks very cheesy, a little 1987. As for the white shirt, it’s not disrespectful; it would just make you look like a waiter. P F
I went to my BF father’s funeral several weeks ago, people had on everything you could think of. I sat beside the mailman, and he was in his uniform. Just showing up will mean more to the family than what you are wearing/ deb
white is not disrespectful at all. The suit is dark, and usually go with a darker tie. All black is not required, but not uncommon either. If you have a light suit only, then go with a dark shirt and tie. the700
I wouldn’t wear all black. The point is about respect, not all-in-black mourning style of the 1900’s. If you wear a nice pair of black pants and shoes with a nice crisp white shirt and tie, you will be looked at as respecting the deceased person, no one will honestly think twice about this outfit. Wearing a white shirt and a conservative tie is not seen as disrespectful–even if you don’t have a coat to go with it.
I honestly don’t like black button down shirts except for on women. You will run the risk of looking like Johnny Cash, and may even draw attention to yourself.
Good luck! I’m sure you’ll be fine. Fox in the Snow
Ive saw a woman wearing a mini skirt and knee high blak boots to a funeral. I think your outfit of choice is very reasonable as long as ur not flashin cleavage or too much leg you wont be considered as being disrespectful. Just you showing up means alot. Ladida
That will be fine…. juniejuly
I don’t see why not lorianna
The important thing is to attend the funeral and/or viewing. If you want to wear black shoes, trousers, and a black long sleeved shirt or sweater, go ahead. No need to go out and make a special purchase. Mark
I think the black dress pants and black shoes are appropriate. Add the sweater (black or dark gray) with a button down shirt (white’s ok). Add a necktie and you are set. In Yo Face!!!
